The correct answer is "To study the effect of punishment on learning".
Key Points

• Refer to the following lines of the passage:
  • Line 1 of paragraph 1: A series of psychological experiments were conducted by Professor Milgram to study the effect of punishment on learning.
  • Line 1 of paragraph 1: In these experiments two participants had to take part as teacher and learner.

Key Points

• In the given passage, the writer explains the effects of punishments given by the teacher on the learner.
• In line 1 of paragraph 2;

  • Rather than yield to the pleas of the victim, about two thirds of the subjects in Milgram’s experiment pulled every one of the thirty shock switches in front of them and continued to engage the last switch (450 volts) until the researcher ended the experiment.
• ​"Yield to" in the given sentence means to stop refusing to do something, somebody is asking to do.

The correct answer is: C) has been taking
Key Points

• In this context, "has been taking" is the correct choice because it indicates a continuous action that started in the past and is still going on, which is the purpose of this sentence.
• The phrase "For the last six months" suggests that the action of taking Ayurvedic medicine started six months ago and continues to the present, which fits the form of the present perfect continuous tense ("has been taking").
• Let's break down the options:
  • "takes" - This is the simple present form of the verb and is used for actions that are habitual or generally true. In this context, it would not indicate the ongoing nature of the action over the past six months.
  • "has taken" - This is the present perfect form of the verb and is used for actions that occurred at an unspecified time before now. The specific time is not important. It doesn't express the continuous nature of the action, which is implied in the sentence.
  • "has been taking" - This is the correct choice. It's the present perfect continuous form of the verb, used for actions that started in the past and are still continuing, which fits the context of this sentence.
  • "is taking" - This is the present continuous form of the verb and is used for actions happening now or for planned future actions. It doesn't cover the timeframe "For the last six months", which is required in this context.

The correct answer is Option B i.e., the statement The quoted speech in the direct narration is always initiated with small letter is not correct.
Key Points

• Let us have a look at the statements given in the options of the question and reiterate the related rules of Narration change in English Grammar.
  • When the reporting verb is in the past tense and the verb in the direct speech is in Past perfect tense, the latter stays same i.e. in the Past perfect. For example,
    • Tanbir said, “I had finished the task by evening” ⇒ Tanbir said that he had finished the task by evening.
  • Direct speech begins with a capital letter, even if it is in the middle of a sentence.
    • For example, 'Madhushree pleaded, “Help me to find my mirror.”'
  • However, there might seem one exception - If the speech sentence is interrupted by a reporting clause, the speech sentence continues with a lowercase word. Still, as it is a continuation, we do not consider it as the beginning of the reporting text.
    • For example, “Certainly,” the families complained, “it’s something to do with the new girl.”
  • The Reporting speech may go at the beginning, middle or end of a sentence. For example,
    • My wife asked, “What shall I bring you for tea today?”
    • “What shall I bring you for tea today?” asked my wife.
  • When changing a direct speech into an indirect speech, we remove the comma and the inverted commas that border the direct speech.
    • For example, Supriti said to me, “Did you the join the webinar last night?” ⇒ Supriti inquired of me if I had joined the webinar the previous night.
• So, from the discussion above, we can see that only the statement made in Option 2 contradicts the corresponding rule of English Grammar regarding Narration Change.

Hence, the correct answer to the given question is Option B.

The correct solution is 'A book is written by me'.
Key Points

• A passive sentence is a sentence that is written in a passive voice.
• The active voice, in a sentence, denotes that the noun or pronoun that acts as the subject in the sentence is the doer of the action. In other words, the subject performs the action or acts upon the verb.
  • In the given sentence in the question, 'I write a book', the subject 'I' is the doer of the action i.e., 'write a book'.
• The passive voice, on the other hand, represents that the subject is one acted upon by the action or verb in the sentence.
  • So when converting the sentence into a passive voice, the subject will come at the end of the sentence to be acted upon by the action.
    • the sentence will thus become 'A book is written by me'.
• Since the sentence in the question is in a present tense, the passive sentence will also be in present tense.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option A .

The correct answer is 'CBDA.'

Key Points

• Sentence C: "Gandhiji was a first-class nurse to the sick." This sentence is the most strong candidate for the opening line.
• Sentence B: "Where he picked up nursing was a mystery." This sentence adds intrigue and sets up for the reveal of how he learned the craft without a formal education.
• Sentence D: "He certainly did not pass through a nursing school." This statement answers the question posed by Sentence B, providing more clarification on Gandhiji's background in nursing.
• Sentence A: "As in many other things, when nursing became necessary in life, Gandhiji learned it by the hard way of experience."
• This is the natural conclusion of the paragraph, giving detailed insight into Gandhiji's journey of becoming a first-class nurse, a journey of learning through life experiences.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Additional Information

• These exercises test the reader's ability to understand the contextual ties between different sentences.
• Paying attention to the natural progression of ideas and the logical order of information shared can help in solving these puzzles more efficiently.

The correct answer is "Option C".

Key Points

• We use “one of the” when we want to mention one item among the group.
• The statement is talking about the most serious issues with youngsters.
• When we are talking about the majority of something in general, we use "One of the + most + Plural noun" and most is used as a superlative degree.
  • Example: The Mona Lisa is one of the most famous paintings in history.
• The article "an" is used before "addiction" in the sentence because "addiction" begins with a vowel sound.
• Hence, the grammatically correct sentence is: "One of the most serious issues with youngsters is an addiction to social media. An issue which needs attention."

Therefore, the correct sentence is "Option C".

Correct Sentence: "One of the most serious issues with youngsters is an addiction to social media. An issue which needs attention."

Additional Information

• "A" is incorrect because it does not uses superlative degree with "most".
• "B" is incorrect because it lacks article "an" before "addiction".
• "C" is incorrect because it lacks a verb in the second part of the sentence to form a complete sentence. It should be like "The issue, which needs attention, is addiction to social media." to form a complete sentence.

The correct answer is 'Arrogance'.

Key Points

• Humility is the quality of being humble. (विनम्रता)
  • Example- The great thing about human problems is that they bring out compassion and humility.
• Arrogance means an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions. (अहंकार)

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option B'.
